How To Correctly Do The Cat-cow Pose

Cat-Cow pose is a gentle, flowing yoga pose that can help improve spinal mobility and relieve tension in the back and neck. This pose is often done as a warm-up at the beginning of a yoga practice, and it is suitable for all levels of yoga practitioners.

Here's how to do Cat-Cow pose:

1. Start on all fours with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Your spine should be in a neutral position.

2. Inhale and round your spine towards the ceiling, tucking your chin towards your chest and pulling your belly button in towards your spine. This is the "cat" position.

3. Exhale and arch your back, lifting your chest and gaze towards the ceiling. This is the "cow" position.

4. Continue to alternate between the cat and cow positions, moving with your breath and allowing your spine to flow through a full range of motion.

Cat-Cow pose can help improve spinal mobility and flexibility, as well as relieve tension in the back and neck. It can also help improve digestion and reduce stress.

Remember to always listen to your body and only do poses that feel comfortable for you. If you have any concerns about your physical health or any specific conditions, it is always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before starting a new exercise routine.
